Spake John Barleycorn, "In my heart is a valley
The meek should be exalted
I will walk through this valley
The meek should be exalted
I will walk through this valley
Men from the west came, money on their mind
For the blood of Sir John, they would murder his kind
Men from the west came, money on their mind
For the blood of Sir John, they would murder his kind
Listen, you’ve got to fell 'im
John Barleycorn is ours now
There’s a tale in the telling
John Barleycorn must die now
John Barleycorn is ours now
There’s a tale in the telling
John Barleycorn must die now
The season to destroy you
It's the same darn machine
The season to destroy you
It's the same darn machine
